I'm a student from Europe, Germany. My 5 year old Asus Notebook (15" screen) broke down and now I need a new one.I'll take it with me to university 3-4 times a week - so it should be portable --> 13" - 15" screen.At home I can use an external screen.

I like Lenovo because of the fact that it can be upgraded easily. Furthermore I get a student discount. Otherwise the screens of thte T-series is not the best.

One more question (also to Lisa & the admins here):Is the Lenovo X230 too small to write several texts on it because of its 12.5" screen and its resolution?I am just asking because I also have to write parts of my thesis in the university's library on it.

What alternatives do I have? What would you recommend to me? I'm tired of waiting because I'm looking around for a new notebook for half a year.
